We subjoin, from the Gazette of last night, the latest official account of the disturbances in Lower Canada ; from which it will be seen that the reports of the recent outbreak, published in the New York Journals, were not so much exaggerated as might have been expected, considering the questionable sources of information open to our Trans-Atlantic Contempora ries. Sir JOHN COLBORNE distinctly states that. "at Beauharnois, Chateauguay, and Napierville, the rebels assembled in GREAT NUMBERS ;" and that " about four thousand of them were concentrated at Napier ville." The simultaneous rising of such immense masses of the population, and the loss of " several valuable officers and loyal subjects," reported by the Lieutenant-General to have " fallen" in establishing the supremacy of British authority, sufficiently show that the seeds of this rebellion were sown at a date anterior to the passing of the DURHAM Ordinances Indemnity Act—notwithstanding the very grave and oft-repeated statements of two of our Ministerial Co temporaries to the contrary. The Indemnity Act was passed on the 17th of August, consequently its pur port could not be known to the disaffected in the Canadas before the middle of September at the very arliest. It will be remembered, too, that it passed both Houses in the course of a few sittings, with the express understanding on the part of several of its supporters and opponents that it was desir able that it should be either passed or rejected before the arrival in the Canadas of the debates upon it—in order to prevent any agitation of the question in the provinces. Now, Sir JOHN COL BORNE says in his official despatch—" No doubt now exists that the leaders of this revolt have been actively employed in organizing this second attempt to establish a Republic in Canada since June, and that the secret oath which has been so extensively adminis tered to the habitans, was taken by a large portion of the disaffected in July and August." Either this statement of Sir JOHN COLBORNE is utterly ground- or the Indemnity Act has contributed in so slight a degree to the present outbreak, that only the tools of faction can persevere in fastening upon any section in the House of Lords the entire blame of the recurrence of such an enormity. Even the very first sentence of the extract from the despatch dated the sth ultimo, states plainly that Lord DURHAM was so perfectly aware of what was about to take place, that the Commander-in-Chief pre sumes the information forwarded by his Lord ship to Downing -street, had prepared the Go vernment for what has since happened T. And yet the Chronicle, with that genius for blundering for which only it is distinguished whenever it appears in Court livery, has the following paragraph in a leading article of this morning : And though in a struggle such as that which has broken out in Lower Canada, there could not be a doubt as to the part which the British would take, yet, as we have more than once said, it does not follow that the bravo and intel ligent inhabitants of British descent, especially in Upper Canada, however unwilling they may be to destroy the connection with the parent state, will always submit pa tiently to the imbecility and wickedness of which they have had such a memorable specimen in the legislation of last session. Our Philadelphia Correspondent, in his letter in this day's C'bronicle, observes, " It is right !should inform you that all accounts we have received, both public and private, state that the late conduct of the House of Lords, and conse quent resignation of the Earl of Durham, have much cooled the ardour of the loyal Canadians in favour of Bri tish connection. Many of them are now said to favour an independent existence, on honourable and equitable terms, and without bloodshed, who had before never thought either of the probability or expediency of a sepa ration. Ido not learn, however, that this party favours the present insurrection." We have proved on better evidence than that of the Correspondent of the Chronicle, that the House of Lords is not mainly answerable for the late rising in the Canadas. What is more remarkable, though not les s characteristic of the tact of our Contemporary, the very same article from which we make the above quo tation, contains a paragraph referring to old correspon dence from Quebec, with a view to show that some months ago—when Lord DURHAM was in the ful ness of his popularity and power—Colonel TAYLOR had a hard task to watch the conspirators in Acadie Our object in making these remarks is to place this question fairly and impartially before the public. We are no admirers of the policy pursued by the House of Lords since the passing of the Reform Bill ; but we will not, on that account, lend ourselves to the dishonesty of making any section of that House responsible for the con sequences of Acts now proved to be not less attributable to a series of blunders on the part of the Government than to the united opposition of the Ultras, Tory and Radical. We wish, moreover, to impress upon the nation generally, that the question of the rebel lion in the Canadas is neither a Whig, a Tory, nor a Radical question ; but that it is essentially a British question, and ought now to be handled and discussed without reference to the poli tical blunders of faction. The curse of this country is, that in political warfare the or gans of faction seldom know where to stop. The dearest interest s of the people—the greatness and glory of the empire —are made subservient to the pitiful in fluences that are presumed to control the individual appointment of this or that person to a place in the Cabinet. Against this species of political warfare we protest. 'When the question at issue, as in the case of the rebellion in the Canadas, includes a bare possibility of the dismember ment of the British Empire, or even of the untimely death of a single British subject, we shall recognise a be he Peer or P easant , W hig patriot in every man, or Tory, who is among the foremost in averting the common danger, or in aiming a blow at the common enemy.

The habitans are collecting in large bodies at St. Ours, St. Denis, St. Charles, Acadie, Chateauguay, and Beau barnois. The general movements of the rebels commenced on the 3d. They made an attack on the Indians of the village of Cochanawaga, on Sunday the 4th instant, who sallied out of the church where they were assembled for divine service, repulsed the rebels from the village, and captured seventy prisoners. I am preparing to march against the rebels in Acadie, Our troops occupy La PrAirie, Chambly, and St. John's. (COPY.) Head-Quarters, Odell Town, Seigniory of La Collo, November 11, 1838. MY LORD-With reference to my despatch of the .sth inst., I have the honour to acquaint you that the habitans between the Yamaska and Richelieu Rivers quitted their villages on the night of the 3d to take up arms against her Majesty's Government, and assembled at St. Ours, St. Charles, and St. Michel—those from the westard of the Richelieu, from Contrecceur and Vercheres, at Belceil. The greater part of the rebels, however, of the Richelieu, on finding that the depots of arms and ammunition which had been promised them were not at the points of rendez vous ready to be delivered to them, returned to their homes on the 4th and sth inst. The habilans, generally, of Beauharnois, La Prairie, and L'Acadie, also were in arms on the night of the 3d, and at tacked all the loyal subjects residing in their neighbourhood, and either drove them from their homes or made them pri soners. At Beauharnois, Chateuguay, and Napierville, the rebels assembled in great numbers ; about four thousand of them were concentrated at Napierville, under the command of Dr. Robert Nelson, Dr. Cote, and Gagnon, between the 3d and 6th instant. Under these circumstances I or dered the corps under the immediate commend of Major- General Sir James Macdonald and Major-General Clithe row to march to L'Acadie and St. John's, with the inten tion of attacking Napierville on the 9th, but the unfavour able weather, and the very bad state of the roads, prevented the troops from reaching the vicinity of Napierville till late in the evening, and they did not enter the town till the morning of the 10th. The rebele, hearing of the approach of the Queen's troops, dispersed during the night of the 9tb, and the following morning. When the rebels first established themselves at Napierville, they endeavoured to open a communication with the United States by Rouse's Point, with a view of bringing in supplies of arms and am munition from their friends in the States of New York and Vermont, but the brave, persevering, and loyal volunteers of La Colle, Odell Town, Hemmingford, and Sherrington, who, from the first moment of the revolt, had posted them selves on the frontier, attacked four hundred of them on the march from La Colle to Rouse's Point, two miles from the frontier line, defeated them, and took one field piece, three hundred stand of arms, and drove them across the frontier. On the 9th, being reinforced from Sherrington, the volun teers took possession of the Church of Odell Town, and defended their post with the greatest bravery against an attack of nine hundred of the rebels on the march from Napierville, under Dr. Nelson, and compelled them to re tire with great loss. I had directed Colonel Taylor (employed on particular service) to proceed to the frontier, to inform the volunteers of the march of the Queen's troops. This officer arrived at Odell Town about half an hour before the volunteers were attacked, and was of the greatest use to them in directing the defence of their position. As soon as I received information of the revolt in Beau. harnois, I dispatched Major Phillpotte, R.E., with orders to Major Carmichael (particular service) to pass to Lake St. Francis from Point au Baudet, near Lancaster, to the south bank of the St. Lawrence, with a detachment of the 7lst regiment, on the route from Upper Canada, and two battalions of the Glengarry Militia, under Colonels Mac. donne) and Fraser, and to march on Beauharnois. This movement was promply carried into effect by the exertions of Major Phillpotts, Major Carmichael, and the Colonels of the Glengarry Militia, on the 10th instant. Four or five men of the detachment of the 71st regiment were killed and wounded in driving the rebels from Beauhar nois. I shall take an early opportunity of conveying to your Lordship a more correct account of these occurrences, and of forwarding the reports of the officers commanding the volunteers posted on the frontier. Their loss has not been severe, but several valuable officers and loyal subjects have fallen ; and I entreat that their families may be pro vided for by her Majesty's Government. On very occa sion since the commencement of this revolt, the British population have come forward with the greatest zeal and activity. No doubt now exists that the leaders of this revolt have been actively employed in organising this second attempt to establish a republic in Canada since June, and that a secret oath, which has been extensively administered to the habi tans, was taken by a large portion of the disaffected in July and August ; but it is certain that a large portion of the habitans who appeared in the ranks of the rebels were forced to join them, or have their properties destroyed. Several hundred prisoners have been taken, and among them a French officer, who had a command at Napierville. I enclose two proclamations, issued by Dr. Robert Nelson. I have, &c. (Signed) J. COLBORNE. The Lord Glenelg. The Times of to-day contains the following article, which is more candid than usual in that journal : There occurred a trifling error in our statement on Saturday of the grounds of difference between the citizens and the Lords of the Treasury on the rebuilding of the Royal Exchange, which arose from our taking the proceedings of the Common Council as our guide. The Act of Parliament gives in reality a veto to the Treasury on the choice of a site, and that right is not disputed by the Building Committee, who are pressing for the exercise of it without delay, in order that they may p rocee d to the busin ess th e y have in hand, and give proper not i ce to the parties whose premises will be required for the erection. This is the first and the only step directed by the Act so far as the Treasury is concerned ; but the " Lords" take up a new position, and refuse to fix upon any site, be cause they consider that they possess a veto al so upon the plans to be prepared for the new building. This the citizens strenuously resist—for one reason, because the Act gives no such power—and for another, because the whole fund is pro vided by the Gresham trust, and nothing by the public. This comes pretty nearly to the same point as our statement : while these parties are disputing, the merchants remain without a fit place or convenient shelter for the transaction of their business, and the " metropolis of the world" is without a " Royal Ex change." The assertion, however, that the whole fund is to be provided by the Gresham Trust, requires explana tion. The Trust is to erect the building, b u t the public are to give 150,0001. t owar d s p urc h as i ng a s i te and making approaches. Now, a great part of the value of the whole, will consist in the site and convenience of the approaches, and every sixpence of the public money expended on them will tend to increase the rent of the Trust buildings and the neighbouring buildings. In fact, unless the 150,000/. be thrown away, it will yield at three per cent. a permanent annuity of 4,500/., vvhich the public make a present of to the Trust and the owners of ground in the neighbourhood of the site. The Treasury believe, right or wrong, that the Parlia ment in voting that money, meant to lay on it, and the Board of Works under its orders, the responsibility of seein g that 150,0001., properly laid out. The Trust deny that Parliament so meant, because the Act, which was, perhaps, carried through by some clever City Solicitor, does not correctly embody the intention of Parliament, and on that point the two parties are at issue. On the one hand, the Trust refuses to submit to the T reasury any account of the manner in ,i ch it means to occupy the site which it calls on the Treasury to purchase and make over to it, and on the toitliemsritteheisTtorehae u su e ry refuses to_ proceed till it k nows h ow e l e e s t t h d a o t u tbht efrß i e i i i m ield the For our pa r t s we h ave no t confidence .as p terms asse d o f t i t ) the g r e t of the u se C t h o e m s m m i a t t l Commons to b e fulltparliamento th at the Treasury was for the manner in which the site purch ase d by 150,000/. of the public money is to be occupied. The Treasury taking one view of its duty and the City authorities another, we know no means by which an end can be put to • the dispute, but that which has been proposed by the Treasury, namely, to refer the whole matter to Parli ament the itistant3i; assembles. The City people ar c s h arp fellcn,vs, and the public willagree with us, we believe, that the Treasury cannot well take too many precautions before placing 150,0001. more of the public money in their hands. Of course the Times will repeat its assertion, that " the merchants remain without a fit place or conve venient shelter for the transaction of their business ;'' and the merchants, particularly if they are Tories, and the jobbers of all kinds who arc now clutching at the 150,000/., :will rail bitterly against the Treasury for keeping the princely merchants of London without a shelter. The merchants, however, particularly if they be princely, can help themselves. The poor ma chanics of the metropolis and other cities, when they required " fit places and convenient shelters" for hearing lectures and other species of instruction, were obliged to build them for themselves, and why should not the princely merchants of the metropolis imitate their ex ample, and pay for the building in which they transact their business, and make large fortunes ? Why must the coals of the said mechanics, and of all the shiver ing and humble classes of the metropolis, be taxed to provide counting houses for the princes of the Roya Exchange ? Let them build what is necessary fo themselves at their own cost, and they need not be over day without a fit place and convenient shelter fo t transacting their business, beyond the time necessary for them to subscribe their money and erect their building. They may blame themselves, not the Treasury, for wanting an Exchange. It was about October 23d that the City authorities first made a communication to the Treasury, and when the Board was assembled the communication was laid before it. It was then so doubtful that it was referred back for explanation ; and the City authorities took some time before coming to another resolution on the subject, and i❑ forwarding that to the Treasury. The difference of opinion which was the result has been known to the City authorities for several days, and the correspondence was closed for the present, we believe, last week. It is clear, therefore, that the Treasury lost no time subsequent to receiving the first communication ; and equally clear, as matters now stand, that no progress will be made " in providing a fit place or convenient shelter" for the princely mer chants " of the metropolis of the world" till after the meeting of Parliament in February. It will be seen, from the documents inserted yesterday, that the Government is alive to the consequences which may result from such meetings as those which have been lately held by torch-light at Hyde, near Manchester, and other manufacturing places. Meetings like these are dangerous to the peace of the country, and therefore illegal ; and the Secretary of State for the Home Department deserves credit for the promptitude with which he has taken the necessary measures to prevent their recurrence. These are not times for torch-light mobs. Let us not be misunderstood. We have no suspicion that the great body of the working classes have any other designs than those which they openly avow. They feel themselves excluded, most unjustly excluded, from all share in the election of those who are face tiously called the Representatives of the people. They are permitted to exercise no political right whatever, as if they were aliens and outcasts from the Constitu tion of their country. That they should quietly acquiesce in such a distribution of social privi leges, is not to be expected. Did they ex perience no practical evils---and we are far from thinking that they do not—from the exclusive - ness of the system, the unworthiness on their part which it implies is degrading to every man who has a proper feeling of self-respect. Who then slut I blame the large portion of the community thus wronged and stigmati ze d, if th ey en d eavour to o b ta i n a redress of their grievances? Not, we, assuredly, as long as their endeavours are confined to the use of means sanctioned by the laws and the Con stitution. We may think that much exertion is thrown away in agitating for objects which, however good in themselves, arc at present unattainable, while others of high practical importance, and capable of being immediately realized, are entirely lost sight of; but while we regret this useless expenditure of energy, we cannot but respect the source from which it is derived ; we cannot but admire the spirit of independence, and the love of freedom which impel the unrepresented classes to strive for admission within the pale of the Constitution. That they will gain this desirable end the sooner by violence we do not believe. On the contrary, it is our firm persuasion that nothing can so effectually retard the progress of the cause they have in hand, if not completely defeat it, as violent and tumultuary pro ceedings. Molal force is not only amply sufficient to promote R e f orm , b ut i t i s the only spec i es o f f orce that ever can be successfully employed to that end. Let the Working Classes, therefore distrust, and consider as their worst enemies, those wicked advisers who inculcate the necessity of physical force—who tell them, as Orator STEPHENs did the other day, to send an ounce of lead and six inches of steel into every man's body who stands in the way of their obtaining their rights. Such an atrocious sentiment could have proceeded only from a demon, or a Tory emissary. The Paris Journals of Sunday have all heed re ceived. The very little news they contain will be found in another column. The remarkable conduct of the Court and Govern ment of Madrid for the last six weeks, leaves no doubt that a plot had been formed by the servants of the QUEEN-REGENT, and possibly with her con nivance, for placing Don CA RLOS on the throne. The advisers of this Prince, finding that he might wade for years through slaughter, and be as far dis tant from his object as at the commencement of the bloody contest, have evidently adopted a new line of policy, and now apply a portion of the funds derived from the Northern Powers, in bribing the Constitu tionaletl:.aetn f o ti r l m a n the ole s c l e u a m d e o r s f s o o f c i p e t a ) r , t Sin—mor e ven al n a lead ers . Th ose acquainted with the venal class es Rome, whom JUGURTH A described as ready to sell themselves to the highest bidder —only wonder that divisions had not long ago been created, by this most certain of all means for influencin g • men alike destitute of patriotism, honour, and humanity. Th e whole drift of the Duns Admi n i s t rat i on has been to cause dissension between the lead ers of the QUEEN'S troops, or between the troops and th e people, and no difficulty had they in finding tools for their purpose. They have now succeeded to the utmost of their wishes. The Court and M a d r id arc part very r y m o f the a army is di v id e d a c g om ai p n l s e t te t l h y e is n o t l h a e te r , d' and On tl e ie v in whom but a short time ago the Liberal party placed all their hope and confidence, has within these few days exhibited conduct which, in any country but ; —Pal, would cover him with eternal disgrace. NARVAEZ has joined with his enemy CORDOVA in support of the Exaltado party—the very men whom he was ready to massacre in Madrid, and the very men whom we must conclude he will massacre when they come between him and his self-interest. This last exhibi tion has lowered even Spaniards in public estimation, and force on us the conclusion that there is no hope for Spain but in some great convulsion which shall sweep from her soil all her degenerate mobility, her bigotted and blood-thirsty priesthood, and her merce nary and traitorous generals. If NA RVA EZ, a young officer of distinction and of great hope, could offer his services to betray the cause at Madrid, what as surance have we that some one of the three militar: leaders who now command the armies will not sell him self to Don CARLOS ? HONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MONDAY.—We have had a steady demand for Cotton to-day, and Friday's quotations have been fully realized. The sales are 5,000 bags, chiefly American descriptions. We have received Cape of Good Hope Papers to the 30th of September:—We have nothing of importance from the frontier this packet, except a number of thefts of cattle and attempts at robbery along the border. These we have no doubt will decrease as the frontier defence becomes more com plete. The Governor has been at Shiloh, but we see no ac count of his route afterwards. From Cafferland we learn that the severe drought has just been relieved by fresh rains ; the sufferings of the people have been intense for some time. No further information seems to have been received from the emigrant boors. A proclamation has been issued, prohi biting the exportation of gunpowder for any port' or place on the eastern coast. The following is the inscription on a piece of plate, pre sented by the inhabitants of the Cape of Good Hope to Sir Benjamin D'Urban, the late Governor : " Presented by the Lihabitants of the Colony of the Cape of Good Hope to his Excellency Sir Benjamin D'Urban, K. C. 8., K. C. H., and K. C.T. and S., as a testimonial of their respect for his person, and of the high sense they enter tain of his merits and services during his administration as Governor of that Colony." We have Rio Janeiro Papers to the 30th September; they contain no news. Accounts have been received from Mexico of the 15th Sep tember, from Vera Cruz of the 19:h September, and from Tampico of the 13th October ; they arc chiefly occupied with details of the revolutionary movement already known. The excitement prevailing against the French throughout the po pulation, and the enthusiasm displayed in the preparations against the expected attack on San Juan de Ullos, are per haps the best safeguard for the Government against its spread. ing further for the present. Bazoche with two frigates had gone to Havannah with a number of sick among the crews ; the blockade was carried on by two brigs of war only. Mauritius Papers have been received to the 29th August. Exchange on London Government bills 30 days, 3 per cent. premium; Bank Bills, 6 months, from par to 1 premium; Private bills, 90 days, at par. A mail has arrived from Mexico, by her M,jesty's packet Szvfft; sailed from Vera Cruz 6th October, bringing a large freight of 258,800 pounds sterling, nearly 30 tons in dollars. The news by this arrival is, that the affairs remain in the same state as by the previous accounts. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1838. THE FUNDS.

They have sent out frequent strong patroles into Dingaan's territory, the last of which penetrated as far as within a day's journey of the Chief's residence. The whole country was found deserted. The farmers have separated into smaller divisions, to have more space for their cattle ; thus scattered they have so strongly fortified their camp that they are not afraid of an attack. Forty men are at Port Natal, building fences and fortifications. It is further stated that a report was long since current, that Dingman had, since the affair with Uys, sustained a defeat, in which helast about two thousand men.

On Friday morning a man named William Dillon, in the employ of Mr. Geary, butcher, Carnaby Market, was standing on a pair of high steps, scouring the shop, when he suddenly slipped, and in falling his left hand caught a rusty iron hook, which passed completely through the wrist, lacerating it in a frightful manner. At first it was considered that amputation would be necessary ; but although such was not the case, he will be unable for ever to use his hand, the injury being of so serious a nature. The Earl and Countess of Lichfield will entertain a gay party at Runton Lodge, in Staffordshire. Mr. Ar thur Stephens, Private Secretary to the Noble Earl, has left town to transact business with his Lordship relative to the Post-office department. At the dinner given to Lord Surrey, by the Arun del and Bramber Yeomanry Cavalry, he stated that it was the intention of the Countess to present the troop shortly with a new standard. O n Friday last, Mr. Jones, gamekeeper of Roach, Esq., of Butterhill, in the county of Pembroke. killed a hare which had but one ear ; in the place where the left car should have been, there was only to be felt a small lump, something like a shot, under the skin. Whe ther poor puss had lost this organ by accident, or owed the defect to a freak of dame nature, we canot say, as we were not present at her dissection, but she certainly had a very odd appearance.-IVeNman. CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) RANGER V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. The LORD CnaNcELLott gave judgment to-day in this case, which was argued before his Lordship during the long vaca tion. The case came before the Court upon two demurrers filed by the defendants to the plaintiff's bill, on the ground of multifariousness, and for a general want of equity. The plaintiff, it appeared, had entered into contracts for part of the work on the Great Western Railway, subject to cer tain conditions and penalties. The defendants objected to the course pursued by the plaintiff, nn the ground that it was inconsistent with his contracts; and in order to prevent him proceeding with the works in a manner which it was alleged was inconsistent with the interests of the Company, they had taken possession of the working i m pl emen t s of the plain tiff. Upon this being done, M r . R anger filed his bill for an injunction. In that bill the defendants put in two demurrers—one for multifariousness, and the other for a general want of equity. Upon those demurrers coming on for argument before the Vice- Chancellor, his Honour ordered them to be over-ruled, and from that decision the case came before the Court by way of appeal. His LORDSHIP, after shortly going through the facts of the case, stated his opinion to be that neither of the demurrers could be supported, and ordered them to be over-ruled, thereby supporting the decision of the Court below. FRASER V. PEPPARD. The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this case, which came before his Lordship for the purpose of discharging two orders made by the Master of the Rolls and Vice-Chan cellor, by which a solicitor was ordered to deliver in his bill, for the purpose of having it taxed. His Lordship was clearly of opinion the orders of the Court below were correct, and dismissed the motion with costs. RIGG V. WALL. His LORDSHIP also gave judgment in this case, in which, upon its being called on, the plaintiff did not appear; and, in consequence of the defendant producing an affidavit, stating that he had been served with the subpoena to hear judgment, the case was struck out. Subsequently it was discovered that that subpoena did not comply with the new orders issued by the Court, and the question for his Lordship's decision was, whether the service of the subpcena was sufficient. The COURT was clearly of opinion that it was not, and re stored the cause to the paper. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The MASTER of the ROLLS this morning took short causes and consent petitions. OATHS.-.DRIVER V. FERRAND. Mr. CAMPBELL stated that in this case there was not the ne cessary affidavit in support of the petition, because the party had an idea that a declardtion would be sufficient, and was unwil ling to take an oath. Lord LANGDALE—That is a mistake. Mr. CAMPBELL believed the Act relating to this subject ex pressly excepted affidavits in judicial proceedings. The old Acts with respect to Quakers and Moravians prescribed this form, " I, A. 8., being one of the people called Quakers," &c. An Act was passed in the present year by which the provisions of these Acts were extended to persons who had been Quakers or Moravians, and the form prescribed was, " I A. B , having been one of the people called Quakers," &c. None of the Acts embraced a case like the present, where the party neither was or bad been a Quaker or Moravian. Lord LANGDALE—No ; the case must stand over till you have procured the proper evidence. VIVIAN V. HUMPHRIES. In this case, which our readers will recollect related to cer t-.in mines in Cornwall, his Lordship said be had read the answer, and he saw nothing in it to alter the view he had originally formed. The party was not entitled, to the costs of the issue on which he had failed, but was entitled to the costs of the issue on which be had succeeded. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord DENMAN and a Common Jury.) BRIGGS V. ATNEWORTII. This was an action to recover a sum of 311. 10s., the value of a horse alleged to have been killed by the negligent and furious driving► of the defendant. It appeared from the statement of the plaintiff's Counsel, that the defendant was a clog manufacturer, carrying on business in Tho mas-street, Borou4h, and that he was in the habit of driving about the country in the vicinity of London, for the purpose of callecting orders. The plaintiff resides at Layton, in Essex, and was in the habit of letting out horses and gigs for hire, and on the 2d of July last a person named Bird hired a horse and chaise from him, and proceeded from Lay ton to High Beach. On his return, about 10 o'clock at night, and when near Layton. he was met by two persons in a chaise, driving at the rate of about fourteen or fifteen miles an hour, at Barrett's Corner ; they were on the wrong side of the road, and the shaft of their chaise entered the horse's chest to a considerable depth, and killed him on the spot. Bird alleged that he knew the de fendant very well, and that he was the person who was driving. He did not know his name or address, and requested the defend ant to give them, but he refused, and drove off. Bird followed, keeping hold of the chaise, but was at length compelled to let go his hold, and the defendant drove off. A week afterwards Bird and the plaintiff went to the defendants house, in the Borough, when he in the first instance admitted that he was at Layton on the 2d instant, but afterwards said he had beet: at Kingston. Mr. PLATT and Mr. JAMES appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. KELLY and Mr. BUTT for the defendant. A great number of witnesses were examined on both sides and the evidence was of an extremely conflicting nature ; one party swearing positively that the plaintiff was at Wandsworth, Brixton, and Kingston, doing business on the day in question, and the other, that be was seen in the neighbourhood of Layton. Lord DENMAN summed up the evidence at great length, and the Jury asked leave to retire, and had not returned int( Court when we went to press. EXCHEQUER COURT-(THIS DAY. STEVENS V. SHIELD. Mr. MILLER having opened the pleading, Mr. ERLE said it was an action to recover compensation for an assault which was more in the nature of an insult. The plaintiff, was employed by Mr.7Cleghorn, for the sale of some patent article, and on the 25th April last he was at that gentleman's house. His daughter had shortly before received very improper letter, which he suspected had been sent by the defendant, who happened to be dining with Mr. Cleghorr, on the day in question. On the same day plaintiff's wife and daughter called; at Mr. Cleghorn's, which the plaintiff did not like. He challenged the defendant with writing the offer,. sive h tier, and immediately, in place of making any apology, he " d—d .he letter and the plaintiff into the bargain." Plain• tiff went into the warehouse upon some business, and on his return he found his wife in conversation with the defendant. He was annoyed, as he conceived it improper without some explanation. After some further conversation, plaintiff said to defendant, could he as a man of honour, deny that he had written the letter, when he lifted up a glass of beer, which he threw in plaintiff's face. This was the assault complained of, and though there was not much personal suffering, he would put it to them whether there was not much suffering in the feelings in being so insulted before, not strangers only, but one's wife and daughter. He tribted the Jury would give such damages as would teach the defendant to behave better, and make some compensation to the wounded feelings of the plaintiff. He then called Alexander Archer—Was at the house of Mr. Cleghorn on the 25th April last, when the plaintiff was there. The defen dant was dining with Mr. Cleghorn. The plaintiff's wife and daughter were present. Mr. Stevens complained very much of a valentine which he said the defendant had sent to his daughter. A good deal of recriminatory conversation took place, and it ended in Mr. Stevens' challenging the defendant to fight him with pistols next morning. This was before Mr. Cleghorn and Mrs. Stevens. Plain tiff was very violent, and called defendant "scoundrel," " blackguard," and a great many other expletives. When defendant received the challenge, he said, " If that is your game, let us have it now," and was about to take off his coat, when witness interfered, and said they should not fight in the presence of the ladies. Stevens began again with his abuse, and defendant chucked half a glass of beer in his face. Wit ness then took Mrs. and Miss Stevens home, and knew nothing more of the matter. Cross -examined.—The first par* of the affair was Stevens murmuring at his wife's conduct in bad terms, and defendant said to him, " For God's sake, don't say such things of your wife before strangers I" Miss Helen Stevens said she and her mother called, on the day in question, at the house of Mr. Cleghorn, where her father was. He was in the habit of speaking very impro perly to her mother, and did so upon that occasion. Mr. Shield was present, and found fault with her father for so doing. There was afterwards a quarrel about a letter, and her father hart his fist in defendant's face when he threw the beer in his face. The Jury stopped the case, and found a verdict for the plain tiff—Damages, one farthing. Mr. HOMFRET hoped his Lordship would certify in such a case. Lord AB lNGER—Certainly. So tLe plaintiff must pay his own costs. SECONDARiES' COURT. (THIS DAY.) RICK ARDSON V. REYNELL. This was an action brought by Major Richardson, against the defendant, who is the printer of a publication called the Paul Pry, for a libel on his character. Mr. C. PHILLIPS appeared as Counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. HUMPHREY for the defendant. The Counsel for the defendant made a long, and, as Mr. Phillips deemed, an ample apology, acknowledging the false hood of the charge made against the plaintiff, and by consent the Jury r e t urne d a ver di c t f or the plaintiff, with nominal damages. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS I)AY.) OLD COURT. Edward Button, 23, was charged with having, on the 16th of November, unlawfully administered to Mary Ann Wells and Mary Campbell, a quantity of cantharides, with intent to injure their health. He was also charged with a common assault. Mr. DuANE conducted the prosecution, but it is unnecessary to repeat the evidence,it having been so recently before th e pu bli c. Mr. PAYNE having addressed the jury on b e h a lf o f the pri soner, they consulted a few minutes, and then returned a ver diet of guilty, but recommended the prisoner to mercy, on th ground of his previous good character, in which recommenda tion the prosecutor also joined. The COURT, in passing sentence, said that however excel lent the previous character of the prisoner might. have been, this was a most serious offence, and one which could not be overlooked or visited with a light punishment. The sentence therefore was, that he be imprisoned for twelve calendar months in Giltspur-street. Thomas Theophilus Biggs, who has been already tried and acqnitted on two indictments, was again placed at the bar, charged with having, on the 3d of October, stolen a silver syringe, the property of Charles Louis Stanislaus Baron Heur teloup, his master. Mr. A DoLptins slid in this case he should offer no evidence and a verdict of acquittal was therefore taken. Similar ver dicts were recorded in three other cases against the prisoner• COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY•) JOLLY V. BONNIN. This was an action for damages, in building a public-hou se contrary to an alleged agreement between the parties, too near the house of plaintiff. Sergeant BONIPAS was for plaintiff, and Mr. KELLY for th e defendant. After the cause had proceeded for some time, His LORDSHIP directed that it be referred to an arbitrator. A long consultation, however, produced a resolution to g ° on with the trial. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY) DEAL, DEC. 3—Wind W. S.
